We often feel that our hundred of cares,
aggravating and endless, are there to bring us down. But are they? How do we
make sure that these cares are not getting us down but there to help us soar to
greater height? How can we change our burdens into wings that help us to soar on
high rather than tie us down to level ground? Yes, how? We have to change our
focus and mindset. We have to have the faith that our God will help us when we
call on Him. God will transform our burden into a pair of wings through the
miracle of trust. When we believe in Him, we will “soar on wings like eagle”
(Isaiah 40:31 KJV) and when we “Cast our cares on the LORD (and) He will sustain
us” (Psalms 55:22 KJV). Trust on His promises as He never goes back on His
words.
